About this book
My Experiments with Volcanoes is credited to Thomas Augustus Jaggar. The writer says he found that Powell had set up his shock recorders among volunteers on the island, and a seismograph at the agricultural station. The writer says he was especially pleased with the earthquake records kept by a Mr. English living in the countryside, who, assisted by his wife, had carefully listed the times and intensities of hundreds of shocks. The writer says that “we were allowed to take a steamer to St. Vincent and Barbados, stopping at Dominica.”
The text says one model was cast to represent overlap of strata near shore, like a coastal plain, and that when squeezed it made a group of overthrusts away from the piston acting as shore rock. The text says that while an experiment was in progress the chest creaked occasionally, the equivalent of an earthquake. The text says Finch built and set up his own seismograph at Mineral and started systematic surveys of the temperatures of hot springs and steam jets in different parts of Lassen Park.
